Green And Jarvis—Russell Jarvis, in his 5th number descriptive of the loves of himself and his partner Duff Green, during their sojourn together in conducting the Telegraph, has convicted the General of a plumper which we doubt if even his ingenuity and effrontery can get away from. After the agreement to dissolve their copartnership, Green was to go to Boston to loan money, out of which $5,000 was to be paid to Jarvis at a given day. He did go to Boston, and return. He did not pay the money on the day it was due, and on being reminded of his engagement, wrote to his partner the following note.

WASHINGTON, 20th Oct. 1828.

Sir—At the time that our contract for a dissolution took place We both supposed that I could borrow the funds necessary to enable me to pay you. In THIS I HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTED.

Yours,
D. GREEN.

But the real truth of the case was, that Green had obtained a loan for the very purpose of paying Jarvis, previous to the date of his own note. This fact is proved in the following manner by Mr. Jarvis. The public can judge what safety there is in the conduct of our national affairs, when such a man as this is held up as the organ of the predominant party, and is allowed to exercise more influence in appointment to and removals from office than any other man in the nation.

He was in Boston in August and September preceding the date of this letter. At that time, according to a statement in the Boston Bulletin, of Sept. 26, 1828, over the signature of "Columbus," he received from Dr. Ingalls the promise of $5,000, and soon after, the money itself: and, as appears by the records of the North Bank in this city, from which the following certificate of deposit, with its indorsements, is a true copy, this sum was transmitted by Dr. Ingalls to Washington on the 7th of October, and received there on the 11th and that, this certificate, after being negotiated at Washington, had been received at New York, on its way back to the North Bank, so early as the 16th of October.

(Face.)

"North Bank, Oct. 7, 1828. This certifies that Doctor William Ingalls has this day deposited in this Bank five thousand dollars, to the credit of Gen. John P. Van Ness, of the city of Washington, and president of the Bank of the Metropolis, and subject to the order of the said Gen. Van Ness.

$5000.
R. W. WHITE, Cashier."

(Back.)

"Cash'r of the North Bank, Boston. Pay the within sum of five thousand dollars to the order of Alex'r Kerr, Cash'r of the Bank of the Metropolis.

JOHN P. VAN NESS"

This is the identical money that was promised to him in September, by Dr. Ingalls. I affirm this to be the fact, and so shall continue to affirm, until Dr. Ingalls shall contradict it. Moreover, I defy Duff Green to contradict it.

Now, if Dr. Ingalls do not contradict this affirmation, and the records of the North Bank be correctly and honestly kept, then has Duff Green set his hand to a most wicked and fraudulent falsehood; a falsehood uttered for the purpose of cheating his late partner in business; and the proof "by documents under his own hand," promised in my first communication to the public, is complete, and cannot be rebutted.
